To me Christmas should always be special and exciting and a bit like the coca cola advert. When I was very small this is how I remember Christmas but due to family problems all my Christmases from I was about 10 till I left home were non existent...no presents no decorations no atmosphere.
BUT now I have ds who will be 16 months in december and Christmas will be fantastically magical once again! The problem is I have no traditions aside from leaving a carrot, mince pie and glass of milk for FC and Rudolph (growing up in my house FC got a glass of wine but now he's been through AA and is a reformed character)
I have had a read through here and am definitely goingto start Christmas pjs and a Xmas eve hamper, also considering a festive Yankee candle as a treat! But I'd love some more ideas on how make Christmas extra special of you wouldn't mind sharing
